The French legend is a living legend in the beautiful game and has achieved great success with Real Madrid, winning three Champions League titles in a row during his tenure. The thought of having him at the helm of Chelsea is enough to get any fan excited about the future of the club.
If appointed in place of Graham Potter due to poor team performance, Zidane is likely to make some big changes to the team lineup. He has publicly stated that he prefers a 4-3-3 formation, and he is likely to use this system at Chelsea.
The back four will be built around the experience of Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile, with Reece James and Ben Chilwell providing the width from fullback positions and Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal.
In midfield, Zidane is likely to deploy a trio of N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount, and Mateo Kovacic. The trio will combine defensive solidity with creativity and attacking prowess, allowing the team to dominate possession and create chances.
Going forward, Zidane is likely to opt for a three-pronged attack of Raheem Sterling, Joao Felix, and Mykhaylo Mudryk. Sterling and Mudryk will provide the width and pace, while Felix will provide the cutting edge in attack.
Zidane’s appointment is likely to bring new energy to the team, which will help them perform at a much higher level. His tactical acumen and knowledge of the game will also be a great asset, as he is likely to get the most out of the players he has at his disposal. With Zidane at the helm, Chelsea could be set for a new era of success.
